Journey to Truth Video in English and other languages

A few years ago some believers in the Middle East put together 8 excellent animated short videos about the story of 4 young Muslim friends on a journey to discover the truth about Jesus. The videos are not only funny and easy to relate to for Muslims, but they also present the big story of the Bible from Creation to Christ and counter many of the typical objections that Muslims make when discussing faith with their Christian friends. As the series progresses we see how one of the guys (who is actually a Christ-follower) encourages his friends to study God's word with him - but in a very gentle and wise way. As time goes on, some of the group choose to follow Jesus and get baptised - and a movement begins!

The video series has been so well received in the Middle East and by workers in other Muslim countries that it has now been dubbed or subtitled in many other languages, like Farsi, Turkish, Urdu etc. But this summer it was dubbed by professional actors into British English to make it more accessible for English speaking Muslims around the world.

Do please watch the videos and share them with as many of your Muslim friends as possible and try to get their feedback! You can find them here on the website (British English only) and also here on othe Youtube Channel (British English only). If you want to see the series in 12 different languages (including Arabic, Urdu, Bengali & Turkish) they can be found here.

NB. ***Business cards are also available with all this information on them, so that you can give them out in your own towns and cities on the streets, through letterboxes, or to friends/neighbours/colleagues in person, rather than digitally. Please contact HWmahabba@gmail.com if you would like to be posted a package of these promotional business cards.***

Plans are being considered as to how this excellent resource can be used effectively in a Western context with Muslims and your help would really be appreciated. If you have any anecdotes/ideas/feedback as you start using it, please email HWmahabba@gmail.com
